Typical use cases

Typical use cases

Regulation of share transfer

A shareholder wants to sell their shares. Without a contractual agreement, they could transfer them to any third party, which may not be in the interest of the remaining shareholders. A shareholder agreement can include preemptive rights or approval clauses that ensure that the shares are first offered to the existing shareholders or that their approval must be obtained.

No selling of shares to outsiders

No sales to competitors or unwanted third parties.

Stability in the company

Prevents sudden changes in the ownership structure.

Obligation to sell upon withdrawal from the company

Outgoing shareholders must sell their shares.

Veto rights & similar agreements

In a company with multiple shareholders, different opinions can arise regarding important business decisions. A shareholders' agreement can establish unanimity clauses or specific voting arrangements to ensure clear decision-making processes and avoid deadlocks.

Avoidance of blockages

No stagnation in case of differences or deadlock situations.

Protection of minority shareholders

Contractual agreement of consensus regarding important resolutions.

Clear power relations

Who has the final word? Who can decide something on their own?

Prevention & efficient solution of internal conflicts

In a company, differences of opinion arise about the future direction. A shareholder agreement can establish mechanisms for dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration, to resolve conflicts efficiently and without litigation.

No expensive legal proceedings

Faster and cheaper dispute resolution through mediation or arbitration.

Clarity in disputes

No endless discussions – conflict resolution mechanisms are defined.

Protection of corporate culture

No destructive shareholder disputes that hinder growth.
